My name is Rachel. I’m 26, newly married, live in Norwood, OH and work in the area of discipleship at a church called Crossroads.

As someone who had been in church circles for a long time (pastor’s kid, Bible college, church staff, etc.), I wasn’t expecting much when I first attended an SFL group. What was I going to receive in an 11-week study that I didn’t get out of a four-year Biblical Studies degree? Turns out, a lot.

Experiencing SFL for the first time was a major game changer in my faith. It revealed surprising gaps between what I knew and what I really believed. It became clear that despite knowing a lot about what the Bible said, the biblical story didn’t have much overlap with my day-to-day life. Discovering the abundance that was available in God’s Story rocked my world and started me on a journey that led to a whole new life of personal discipleship.

Now, three years later, I have been through SFL many times. It has become a foundational tool for me in discipling others. Whether it’s the girls I meet with one-on-one or the movements I work to support on staff at Crossroads, I can’t whole-heartedly start on a path without incorporating the foundation of SFL at some level. The fruit of saved marriages, religion turned to relationship and changed lives speaks loud and clear: We’ve missed the real Story, and we can’t move forward in fullness without it.

STOP! PLEASE READ!

It will only take a minute. The area you are about to enter is for SFL Facilitators only.

If you are currently experiencing SFL for the first time please do not access this area of the site. Seriously it would be best for you and any future SFL’s you may lead if you give yourself the opportunity to experience SFL in the fullest way possible before you start looking into the facilitator’s resources.

If you have never experienced SFL and are looking into using it in your area please let us know how we can support you. Here is the deal, if you have not experienced SFL it will be almost impossible for to reproduce the desired experience. This situation normally does not lead to a good SFL experience and will be very challenging for you. Also, this is a quick way to compromise the DNA of the SFL training.
